In the days leading up to the end of the assignment, Durandal stayed with Kiana and the others.
She even reduced her own training to keep an eye on the three of them.
Besides normal training, Durandal also started focusing on Kiana's etiquette.
She even persuaded Mei to help her discipline Kiana.
Until the assignment ended, Kiana lived in a state of misery.
It was either Mei disciplining her, or Durandal disciplining her, and Rita would sometimes help out.
Finally, the assignment ended.
They returned to the same room where they had first met Otto upon arriving at Schicksal Headquarters.
When they pushed open the door, Otto was already sitting on the sofa, waiting for their arrival.
After Elysia and the others sat down, Otto finally spoke, "How has everyone found the training during this period?"
Elysia and the others, sitting in front of Otto, remained silent.
"Such silence, it seems none of you like me," Otto opened his eyes.
"Bishop Otto, just say what you need to say directly. If there's nothing, we'll return to Saint Freya," Elysia said.
"Hahaha, alright, Miss Elysia still dislikes me so much," Otto shook his head.
"Now, I want to make a deal with Miss Kiana, or rather, with Miss Sirin," Otto looked at Kiana.
"What do you want to do?" Elysia asked with a frown.
"Miss Elysia, please don't be anxious. I need to know Miss Kiana's answer first."
Kiana looked at Mei, then at Elysia, unsure how to decide.
"As the one proposing the deal, I will first state what I can offer, and what Miss Kiana needs to do," Otto spoke again.
"I can cancel the warrant for your father, Siegfried, and you will receive information about Siegfried."
"And the highest authority over the battlesuit you are wearing."
"And Miss Kiana only needs to assist me in completing an experiment once you have grown strong enough."
"How about it? For Miss Kiana, this deal loses nothing."
After Otto finished speaking, he looked at Kiana seriously, wanting to know how she would respond.
"I..." Kiana looked at Mei, somewhat conflicted.
"Bishop Otto, I want to know, will Kiana be harmed or suffer pain in your so-called experiment?" Mei held Kiana's hand and then said seriously.
"Don't worry, Miss Kiana will not suffer any harm, nor will she have any losses."
"Then Bishop Otto, when you say Kiana needs to grow strong enough, how will you determine when Kiana can help you?"
"Regarding that question, I cannot give a standard answer," Otto shook his head.
"Mei..." Kiana looked at Mei, wanting her to choose for her.
"Kiana, this time you need to choose for yourself. This deal is very important to you, isn't it?"
Kiana closed her eyes and communicated with Sirin for a while.
"I... I agree to this deal."
"Amber, cancel all warrants for Siegfried," Otto said directly to Amber behind him.
"Yes, Otto," Amber immediately used the terminal nearby to operate, canceling all of Destiny's warrants for Siegfried.
"Regarding Siegfried's information," Otto took out a piece of paper and placed it on the table.
Kiana picked it up and saw that the paper did not contain Siegfried's information, but rather the promotion notices for Kiana and the others.
"Where's my dad's information?" Kiana asked with a frown.
"Kiana, have you forgotten your agreement with Theresa? She will tell you about Siegfried after you get promoted to A-rank."
"You... you're cheating!"
"Miss Kiana, I said you would receive information about Siegfried. Whether you get it from me or from Theresa, the result is the same, isn't it?"
"Hmph," Kiana immediately turned her head away, no longer looking at Otto.
In her opinion, Otto was also a big liar now.
"Regarding the highest authority over the battlesuit on you, I have already transferred it to you. As for how to use it, you will need to explore that yourself."
"You keep saying battlesuit, battlesuit. I only have this one battlesuit, alright? This battlesuit was given to me by Aunt herself," Kiana pointed to the White Comets she was wearing.
She had only put on the battlesuit because it was time to return to the Academy.
"Yes, but White Comets itself is another battlesuit, and you have used it before."
"It's just that the current you cannot constantly use that battlesuit, which is why it always appears as White Comets."
"Alright, next, you can return to the Academy. After you go back, please say hello to Theresa for me. It's been so long, and she hasn't returned to Headquarters to see her grandpa."
After Otto finished speaking, he stood up and walked to his desk.
At this point, everyone knew the conversation was over.
"Mei, you take Kiana and Bronya to the airport first. I still have some things to discuss with Bishop Otto," Elysia said to Mei.
"Sister Ellie, we can wait here."
"You should leave first. After all, it's better for you to know less about some things, and it will be safer," Elysia rubbed Mei's head helplessly.
After the three left, Elysia looked at Otto.
"Miss Elysia, do you have anything else?" Otto spoke first.
"Bishop Otto, you know my abilities, and you still have a terminal in this room. Are you afraid I won't see it?" Elysia rolled her eyes, while quietly muttering "fox" in her heart.
"Oh, the terminal is in this room, of course, to facilitate official business. As for what Miss Elysia saw, if you don't say it, how would I know?"
"Otto, are you truly prepared to release the serpent?" Elysia looked at Otto seriously, she really wanted to hear Otto give a negative answer.
"Prepared to release the serpent? Of course," Otto nodded.
Elysia walked directly to the desk, placed one hand on it, and with the other, directly grabbed Otto's collar.
"Otto, even if the serpent is very weak now! It's not something we can contend with!"
"Miss Elysia, you are losing your composure," Otto patted Elysia's hand.
After Elysia let go, Otto straightened his collar.
"Of course, I know. According to the information obtained from the Second Divine Key, that ancestor of the Kaslana Family had the ability to directly freeze the Judgment of Shamash."
"And based on the information Anti-Entropy obtained on the Moon back then, that serpent is undoubtedly the strongest person of the Previous Era."
"You know all this and still actively provoke it!" Elysia slammed the table hard, and a crack immediately appeared on the tabletop.
"Because avoiding it is useless, isn't it?"
"He will return to reality from the Sea of Quanta one day. I am just shortening that time, that's all."
"Otto..." Elysia finally slammed the table hard, and the table instantly shattered into pieces, scattering on the floor. Then Elysia turned and left.
Something Otto had decided would certainly not change, but why did he let her see it?
After Elysia left.
A golden figure appeared beside Otto, clapping its hands and saying, "As expected of you. You've obtained very important information again."
Otto glanced at the figure, "You already confirmed this information long ago. I'm just reconfirming it."
"Hahaha, you are truly cautious, just to confirm whether this Elysia knows Kevin," the golden figure walked to the window, looking at the sulking figure walking towards the airport outside.
"If she knows him, then my plan will be even more secure."
"If she doesn't know him, it just means there will be more variables in the outcome I desire."
